Dave the Renegade:
Have heard that the Hino’s are less expensive on repairs,as their isn’t as much electronics on them as most of the others,They look a strong built lorry.They are owned by Nissan ( I think ) so that makes for a reliable vehicle.Hopefully for you blokes the haulage rates will be increased in line with the fuel increase soon.
Cheers Dave.
I forgot to add, the retarder on them is bloody brilliant. Really slows the truck well on the downhills and should save on brake linings. The view from the cab is good too, although it is a bit of a climb up and down if you’re doing 7 or 8 loads a day.
Keep you young and fit hammer,having that extra exercise with the high cab,always preferred a higher cab when I was lorry driving,a much better driving position in my opinion.
Cheers Dave.
One of H J Lea Oakes bulk blowers,seen by the side of the A438 near Llowes,Radnorshire. This firm seem to have a lot more lorries travelling into this area recently.
Are Burgoynes of Lyonshall still going Dave? They ran some 3000 series artic units a few years ago and used to overnight in Witney at Welch Way Car Park until it was redeveloped…

They are still going Nathan,celebrated a 100 years in haulage last year.They laid three drivers off last month,so I was told,but they still run about 25 lorries,more when the marquee season starts.
Cheers Dave.
